Question whether people are really that deep or just like shiny old things.

Did you see that article someone posted about how old houses basically had no real grounding at all? I swear half the houses built before the 80s are just death traps waiting for someone to touch the wrong pipe. The guy arguing it "worked fine" is exactly the type who probably also thinks you can fix a fuse with a penny.

I read somewhere that WD-40 actually stands for "Water Displacement 40th formula" and it was never meant to be a chain lube. It's like using lighter fluid to fix a squeaky door. I saw a guy at a truck stop do the same thing on his bike once and he just shrugged when I told him it would dry out his chain in a couple days. Tri-Flow is way better, or even that cheap Finish Line wet lube works fine if you just wipe off the extra. People hear "lubricant" and think it's all the same stuff.

Dude, SAME. I grabbed one of those "12,000 lb rated" Amazon specials for my truck, thought I was being smart. First time I tried to pull a stuck Jeep out of a ditch, the thing started smelling like burnt toast and the cable snapped on the second pull. Barely even a real load. I swear those companies just slap a fake rating on a toy motor and hope nobody actually uses it. Lesson learned the hard way. My buddy's old Warn has been through hell and still works like new.

Wait wait wait, they actually banned speed tape on some parts? That's wild to me. I always thought speed tape was like the duct tape of aviation, you just slap it on and it works. But if airlines are banning it then the residue must be a real nightmare, like leaving a sticky film that attracts dirt and makes it harder to fix later. I guess if the tape gunk gets into sensors or seals it could cause bigger problems than a loose panel. That's honestly shocking, I never knew it could be that bad.
